how do i delete old message conversations to free space

I'm running out of space on my iphone 4 and, according to settings/general/usage, my old text messages take up 4+ GB of space. How can I set it up to only save texts for the last, say, six months?

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1

Basically, all you need to do is swipe the conversation to the right - left and press the red delete square. Unfortunately this will delete even the most recent text with this person, but that is all that apple offers built in the operating system. Additionally, you can press the edit button in the top left corner and press the minus next to the contacts to delete the conversation.
